Political Songwriting 2016 -- A Potentially Volcanic Force?

Today we will brainstorm the possibility of creating, fast, a series of Internet-radio interview programs that might inspire songwriters across the U.S. to write high-impac new songs -- songs that could help propel a  presidential candidate to victory in upcoming caucuses and primaries, and in the November election.  One of our two main guests is Tom Riis, a long-time musicologist and professor at UC Boulder, who has written award-winning books about the history of African American music in the U.S. and about a famous Broadway lyricist.  He heads a music institute at Boulder.  Our other main guest is Adam Barnett, a millennial who founded the Interenet radio station Pizza FM in an alternative dormitory at the University of Illinois Urbana. He recently led the launch of WERA FM, a cutting-edge nonprofit citizens-driven radio station in Arlington, Virginia.  Also joining us will be aspiring songwriters and musicians, many of whom have been residents at one of our ColivingRevolution residences.  Please join us!
